What we fit in North Yorkshire

Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in North Yorkshire the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
